Our species's default mode is to be cynical and lazy and I hate it.

Oh, the irony... A less cynical perspective would be that as a whole humans are pretty empathetic, and most people want to live in a world where everyone is happy.

Also, why couldn't they call her a "woman of science?"

“Fruit cup" = a queer person

I thought that was a pretty common slur?

Don't let anyone live in your head rent-free. You let him win.

We're pretty much at the point where 2.5" SSDs are old...

I remember this article... He went for a hike and didn't tell his roommates when he would be back. He didn't answer their calls (I'm assuming he needed some time alone), and was gone for more than 24 hours so they reported him missing. He just wanted some time away from his roommates and they put him the the national news.

If part of their job is working with the OSS community I don't see anything wrong (and I just finished my annual training a few weeks ago, so it's still fresh in my mind).

Edit: keeping an "official" repo secret does seem like an issue, but public posts about the correct process to contribute upstream doesn't seem like a problem.

And the same goes for company wifi if you have to log in with your own username.

mods dealt with them

And in less than an hour. So what's the problem? Even beehaw will get a few trolls who slip through their vetting process.

One of the benefits of a federated social media network is being able to pick an instance that aligns with your own values. If you'd prefer that the admins defederate certain content that isn't defederated by this instance, have you considered using an instance that more closely aligns with your views? As long as they haven't defederated this instance, you'll still be able to interact with any users and communities on this instance that you don't personally block.

I sincerely hope this doesn't sound like I'm asking you to leave. One of the reasons I'm on this instance is that everyone is welcome to make an account, which feels very inclusive to me.
